Apresh Chavda Photography reviews
As asian wedding photographers, we consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have worked with so many amazing couples over the years. Each wedding has been a unique and unforgettable experience, and we feel honoured to have been a part of such a special day for each of our couples.
We are delighted to share testimonials from some of the wonderful couples we've had the pleasure of working with.
“Apresh and Bharti were more like wedding planners
with the help and guidance they gave us”
Apresh and Bharti are a brilliant photography team, who have captured stunning photos of our wedding day. My wife (Purvi) and I first engaged Apresh in February 2024, with a view to holding our wedding later that year in Summer 2024. And while that may have seemed late in recruiting the services of a photographer, they were both with us every step of the journey, from the initial video call, right up to viewing our photos at their home.
From that first call, Apresh made it clear that he wants to take us on a journey, and that for them, it was not just a business of taking some pictures of the day, and then leaving us. The first meeting was equally about ensuring that Apresh and Bharti were right for Purvi and I, and that we were right for them and from that moment on, a true relationship began. They kept in regular contact, and acted as a key go between between us, them and the other vendors. In fact, it was their planning 'sheet' that we used to direct and coordinate everyone together, at the start, in the build up and on our special day.
For the day itself, we were working to a tight schedule, and it was down to our amazing vendors that not only kept to time, but even allowed us to be ahead of time. Apresh and Bharti were a key part of that.
Apresh was so heavily involved in the co-ordination of all guests throughout the day and did so with such effortless charm and effervescence. He was incredibly kind and respectful to our nearest and dearest, and for the 17 groups of photos we had, was able to manage that superbly. As mentioned above, for Apresh and Bharti, it is never about just running a business of being a photographer. It is about creating key relationships with the bride/groom, their families and telling a story. And that is something I don't think you would get with many other photographers.
Overall, Apresh and Bharti are an absolute pleasure to work with and come very very highly recommended. We genuinely feel we have created a lifelong bond and friendship with them.
A thousand thank yous,
Hemant and Purvi
“Apresh and Bharti were more like wedding planners with the help and guidance they gave us”
Apresh and Bharti did exactly what we wanted and provided us with a story of our wedding day. They captured every single emotion throughout the day and when we looked at the pictures again it was like we were transported back to the whole day. Our wedding album really felt like it was about us a couple, it incorporated our personalities but also the love of our family and friends. Our wedding reception was like a huge rave, yet Apresh and Bharti maneuvered themselves through the crowds and photographed these amazing pictures which we will cherish forever. No only was the quality of our pictures amazing but so was the communication of Apresh and Bharti. From meeting them for an initial consultation. Apresh and Bharti really were the calming presence throughout our wedding and the months leading up to it. They were more like wedding planners with the help and guidance they gave us not just our photographers. We went from being that awkward couple with our poses to feeling like experienced Asiana models with their helping hand! Not only were the wedding pictures fantastic but so were the pre-wedding shoot pictures. It was raining and wet on the day of our pre-wedding shoot but you honestly can't tell in the pictures and when you can see the rain it's because they shot the picture in such a beautiful way that the rain was more of a beautiful prop than a hindrance. We honestly couldn't even tell Apresh and Bharti were around during our wedding ceremony as they just hid but took fantastic pictures. We didn't want our wedding ceremony to be blocked by loads of cameras so ou guests couldn't see and they delivered on this as everyone saw witnessed ceremony clearly. Our family and friends commented on how excellen Apresh and Bharti were on the day in keeping calm, listening to us as a couple and they said it felt more like they were our guests than photographers. Thank you so much for listening to our vision and creating the most beautiful memories for us. We highly recommend Apresh and Bharti for any couple looking for wedding photographers. Apresh, as a keen star ways fan, we will say it again - to you and Bharti - Yoda best.

We can't even begin to express how grateful we are for Apresh and Bharti. From the moment we met them, we knew they were the perfect photographers for our special day. The photos they captured of our civil ceremony and reception completely blew us away. Apresh is an undercover storyteller—each image is carefully crafted, holding a purpose, and telling a story. When we look back at our photos, we’re able to re-live our wedding day in full, without missing a single detail.
But it wasn’t just about the photos. Apresh and Bharti were an incredible support system throughout the entire wedding process, from start to finish. They made us feel so comfortable and at ease, allowing us to trust them without question. Their genuine care and attention to every little moment made a huge difference. It’s rare to find photographers who don’t just take beautiful pictures, but who also make you feel like you have friends by your side, every step of the way. Thank you, Apresh & Bharti, for making our events unforgettable.
With love & the utmost respect

“We are beyond thrilled!!”
We wanted to take a moment to thank you both for the truly incredible photos you captured on our wedding day. We are beyond thrilled with the results. Each image tells a story, and you managed to perfectly capture the real moments, emotions, and joy of the day.
Your understanding of the religious and cultural significance of our wedding was so evident in the way you framed each shot and in the respect you showed throughout the day. It made such a difference to us, and we cannot thank you enough for that.
You were an absolute pleasure to work with—so easygoing, professional, and communicative. It felt like you were more than just our photographers; you both became a part of our family for the day. Many of our guests even commented on how seamlessly you blended in while capturing every moment and detail.
We’re so glad we chose you to be part of our special day and would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for talented, thoughtful, and personable photographers.
Thank you again for giving us these beautiful memories to treasure forever.

“you really looked after us”
We cannot begin to thank you enough for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. We really love our photos, as do all our family. We were talking and agree that one of the most striking things, in addition to the AMAZING photographs, was that you both were so enthusiastic and supportive throughout the whole experience. From day 1 meeting, planning together, Bharti's fun phone chats, to the big day - you really looked after us & were instrumental in all areas of the wedding. I remember feeling a swift calm as soon as I saw you both walking through the door on our wedding morning - safe in the hands of friends.
Thank you

Planning a wedding in 5 months is a daunting task for anyone! Especially a big fat Indian wedding. With Apresh and Bharti assisting us every step of the way made our day run so smoothly. We have been to so many close weddings but planning your own wedding is whole different challenge. Apresh and Bharti were always on hand to discuss areas we never thought about from the layout of our Mandap to the smaller final details. With their vast knowledge their experience shone through as they certainly delivered.
Their strategy oozed charisma and was well received by us and all those involved. We were ecstatic for Apresh and Bharti to capture our precious moments based on their professional eye and past experiences, we simply couldn’t be happier with our photographs.
Apresh has become a household name within our family and is always the 1st choice photographer. We would without hesitation recommend Apresh, Bharti and team to all our friends and family for any function.
The pre-meeting and post meeting not only puts your mind at ease but also shows how professional they are and is something unique that you simply would not get from any other photography company.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for making these lifetime memories that we will treasure forever, love you both!
Thank you

“Absolutely unreal!!”
I think it’s safe to say that wedding planning and the day itself is a journey. The planning, choosing outfits and details, finding venues, vendors, influence of family and friends and finally the immense pressure of the day itself, can sometimes feel overwhelming and out of control. However, Apresh and Bharti were the constant we needed and the calm eye of the storm. This is a massive testament to their professionalism and years of experience. As someone who likes things done in a very particular way, with incredibly high standards and endless energy for things I am passionate about, I was delighted to have found Apresh and Bharti who not only matched this but gave even more.
Their dedication and attention to detail was demonstrated throughout our process, helping us plan the entire day supporting us through a minute by minute plan. They were on speed dial for any questions, doubts and even just a chat if we needed an encouraging boost. We were honestly blown away by the work they did on the day, helping to organise family, friends and us in a coordinated way meant that they could be in the right place at the right time to capture the most special moments.
They made us feel so relaxed and the couples portraits with them is one of our favourite moments of the day. But a core memory which was truly special to my husband and I, was getting to preview the photos together with them. I don’t have the words to do it justice and honestly ran out of adjectives to describe them all, they have such talent and true artistry. Absolutely unreal!! It’s safe to say we’ll have the hardest time deciding which to get printed because they were all just stunning.
When we first spoke with Apresh he asked us what we wanted and we said the pictures need to tell stories and capture moments and they did just that and more, which we will always treasure. We can only say thank you for everything and this definitely is not a goodbye, Apresh and Bharti will now be our point of contact for any photography we need in the future. Sending so much love and light to you both.

“We can't say enough wonderful things about Apresh and Bharti! From the moment we saw their work years ago, we knew they had to capture our special day. Their photographs weren't just snapshots; they were bursting with emotion and told a beautiful story.
When we met them to talk about our wedding their kindness, passion, and excitement for weddings was contagious, and we instantly loved their documentary style, they beautifully showcased stories through photos. During our pre-shoot, not only did we learn how to pose and snag incredible photos, but we had such a wonderful time with them.
Apresh and Bharti were more than just our photographers; their expertise went way beyond capturing stunning visuals. Bharti's keen eye for detail helped us navigate the itinerary, ensuring everything ran smoothly on the day. Her suggestions for tight timelines were invaluable, and allowed us to fully enjoy the day knowing we had planned the day with every detail in mind.
Apresh and Bharti truly go above and beyond to capture every aspect of the day, from the joyous celebrations to the heartfelt moments. Looking back at the photos, we can practically feel the emotions our loved ones experienced, which is truly special considering how much of a whirlwind the wedding itself can be. It’s insane how they captured everything and yet they manage to remain out of sight so that our family and friends were able to see the ceremony.
The final product? Magic! From the first pre-shoot sneak peeks to the event photos, we have been blown away. Apresh, your visions are incredible, and we loved the excitement of not knowing exactly what to expect, but trusting you to bring it to life in the most stunning way possible.
Apresh and Bharti, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for capturing our story so beautifully. You made the entire experience, from planning to post-wedding, an absolute joy.
